Have fun with math this summer!As the school year comes to a close, it’s important to continue math learning through the summer. Many
children experience “summer slide”, losing 1.8 months of math skills during summer break,1 and return
to school in the fall having lost academic knowledge.
That’s why we’re providing access to DreamBox Learning Math throughout the summer. DreamBox offers an adaptive, engaging learning environment that keeps kids interested and motivated for success, as well as reports that keep you up-to-date with your child’s progress. Access DreamBox at home, at your local library, or anywhere in between, all you need is an Internet connection.

DreamBox. The emails will provide insight into their activities, highlight learning milestones, and give suggestions on games to play with your child. What a great way to start the dinner conversation: “So, in DreamBox you were working with Snap Blocks ...”
Being able to convert any activity into a math game is easier than you might think. These suggested activities will not only help your child avoid the “summer slide,” you’ll also enjoy your time together while school’s out!
Indoor Activity- Play a game that requires strategy, patterns, or numbers, such as sudoku, checkers, or Yahtzee.

your child lands on the box, have them give the answer.
Everyday Activities- At the grocery store, have your child decide which products are a better deal.
